Even DC comics probably figured it out: nobody is going to buy a book about The Flash unless it has the greatest artist/writer team in comics history. Writer Geoff Johns is DC's premiere go-to-guy and artist Francis Manupal is one of the best out there, but I have to give kudos to the colorist, Brian Buccellato. The book is colorful and vibrant. Even though the plot is about the death of an old villain, the colors add a sense of fun and freshness to the mood. It's one of the best looking books out there these days. The story is average stuff: Barry, The Flash by night and detective by day, is accused of murder by his own police computer and some superheroes from the future. Meanwhile, Mirror Master helps Captain Boomerang break out of prison for purposes yet to be revealed. This is a terrific book. It's standard stuff, sure, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. ***
